The Millennium Way hike included picking up the Letterboxes on the way and an overnight stay at Ardwhallan completing the Expedition Challenge for 3 Scouts and fulfilling the practical side of the badge for a further 4.

Congratulations to the 11 Scouts who completed the challenge, 6 of which are still only 10 years old.

A big thank you to for Penny and Rebecca (1st Ballaugh) for supplying the food and guiding 8 young people through the culinary side of the Expedition Challenge badge and for bringing in emergency after sun cream! Also a huge thank you to Johnny Moore for giving up his time and assisting me in all 3 hikes and to Norman and Kevin for giving up their time to help and camp.

Three Legs Challge Badges

Joining the smaller groups together gives us all the opportunity of participating in activities we ordinarily couldn’t undertake and is great for the Scouts to meet other Scouts and meet new friends.

The Island Commissioner, Guy Thompson, met them at Castletown to present each with the Three Legs Challenge badge.
